Seabeejason Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It dang near feels like a cool spring night outside here in SE Missouri. Yet another storm leaves us soaking in the rain. Are we gonna get a Winter or should we just fast forward to Spring? My optimism is pretty much drained. Still 6 weeks or so left. Maybe that new snowpack up north will push some storms down this way. Not holding my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey watch it....we're doing another March '08 this winter....and you don't want me trolling you do you? At least our bust had a parachute with it....we saw the cracks in the armor start forming about 3 nights ago when the nam and gfs started going north. That sinking feeling set in and the euro just wasn't giving the reassurance it once did. I feel sorry for you guys who had the rugs pulled out from you inside 24 hours. Nice snowstorm for the Chicago to Detroit crowd. Congrats to you guys though. Just stay the f*ck out this thread now for the rest of this season, your banter/complaint cards have been pulled. This one didn't hurt nearly as bad a last Jan 5th. On that storm we were Truly alone in the bust room. At least we have company here this time. If you want a tour let me know, I know this place like the back of my a**, here's a hint, the buffet table runs out wings fast so grab 'em why you can. Deal!!!

Powerball Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 rates >>> duration This is actually boring. Literally just took a nap in the middle of a snow storm. HAve been getting 1-2" per hour rates for the past 3 hours here, after grinding out ~6" for the first half of the storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolstorybro Detroit has got the shaft from so many storms like this one here. Constant issues with dry slots, virga, etc. has made it really hard for many storms to achieve over a foot here while our friends in the northern suburbs get well over a foot. We also get the shaft with many severe events as well. Extreme weather events are quite rare here compared to many areas in the midwest. Your climo doesn't favor big snowstorms, I'm not sure why you're surprised that you got rained out, because the models had you in the jackpot zone on Thursday? Take some advice from a Detroiter, don't put your heart in any solution more than 48 hrs out. You'll get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This is 2014/15 Complaint Thread. Do not bring up previous winters. This is from IWX's Facebook page. That 5.1" is mine. I was expecting 12" 24 hrs before onset. Anyone north of the line of death (double digits) can't complain anymore this winter. South of the line, the thread's open.

beavis1729 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Amen! i never get the rationale of "rational" people who whine about people whining. Yep - agree. Before this most recent storm, most of IL/IA/southern WI had zero snow cover. Unfortunately, it's very common around here to have bare ground at the beginning of Feb. Actually, the same can be said for any day during the winter. As an example - the Quad Cities in eastern IA/western IL (near where cyclone lives?) only get about 30-35" of snow per year...and Chicago only gets about 40". These are just estimates - don't quote me on the exact numbers. And, average highs are generally in the low 30's even in Jan...so in esssence, any above normal day melts the snow, especially as the sun angle gets higher in Feb. Chicago, for example, has a 50/50 chance at a White Christmas. Even in January, it's only a 60-65% chance of having snow cover on any given day. Bottom line - our snow cover climo is horrible...and I'll definitely complain about it. Obviously we had an amazing storm over the past few days IMBY (about 17")...but prior to that storm, this winter was a joke. We had zero snowfall in December IMBY (not even a trace), and I think Chicago had the same. That is unacceptable. It really is striking how different the feel of winter is if you just go 250 miles north (north-central WI) or 250 miles south (St. Louis). In the former, you can count on winter each year. In the latter, they never have "consistent" winter. Northern IL is kind of in between...so when you do taste real winter for awhile, it makes you want it all the time.
